Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta paid a touching tribute to the 97 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy.
Approaching the 34-year anniversary of the day no Reds fan will ever forget, both Arsenal and Liverpool held a minute's silence ahead of Sunday's Premier League meeting between the teams at Anfield.
Sadly, Liverpool have become all too accustomed to rival supporters attempting to singing songs in reference to the events of Hillsborough despite repeated calls for such chants to be stamped out of the game.

Both Manchester City and Chelsea released statements condemning sections of their supporters in the last fortnight, with Liverpool forced to listen to sickening songs that continue to leave a sour taste due to a significant lack of respect.
Bucking this trend at the weekend, however, were Arsenal.
Supporters of the Premier League leaders impeccably observed the minute's silence and did not lower themselves to tragedy chanting. Club staff also took the time to lay wreaths beside the Hillsborough Memorial ahead of Sunday's fixture.
Going one step further, Arteta wore a '97' badge for the game as a further show of respect to Liverpool. The Spaniard, of course, is an individual who knows all too well the impact Hillsborough had on the city having spent six years with Everton during his playing career.
